The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $40.7M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $28.2M as actual total obligation authority — $12.5M below the request. 28.2 − 40.7 = -12.5 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Joint C5 Capability Development, Integration, and Interoperability Assessments
Lead command, control, communications, computers, and cyber (C5) assessments, analyses, capability development, and joint fires command and control (C2) interoperability efforts required to achieve an effective, integrated, and interoperable joint force. Efforts include C5 requirements determination, C5 architectures development and integration, C5 data standardization, joint fires C2 interoperability, and C5 integration and interoperability assessments. The Joint Staff is the DoD lead for the design and integration of Combined Joint All-Domain Command & Control (CJADC2) capabilities and development efforts across the Department. The Joint C5 program is the Joint Staff focal point for this responsibility. The Joint C5 R&D projects collectively provide the analytical basis and action arm of the CJADC2 Cross Functional Team (CFT) working groups charged with execution of the DoD CJADC2 Strategy, Implementation, and Campaign Plans.
Mission — C5 Assessments and Analyses
The DoD lead for the integration of Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) capabilities and development efforts, conducting analysis and assessment functions and activities to inform and enhance joint warfighter capabilities in support of national security requirements. Provide timely, facts-based/data-driven findings, validation, and recommendations to senior level DoD leaders for decision-making processes and resourcing decisions regarding operational capabilities and requirements to enhance joint warfighter interoperability, survivability, and lethality. Conduct interoperability assessments and analyses that evaluate capability and interoperability of fielded and emerging command, control, communications, computers, and cyber (C5), and systems in response to senior-level critical operational issues impacting the joint warfighter. Align and focus efforts to the CJCS and SECDEF Analysis Plans, Combatant Command’s CJADC2 priorities and Tier I exercises and experiment activities. Conduct integration assessment efforts focused on emerging C2 system capabilities in wireless devices and security, assured C2 initiative, operational and tactical C2, networking, satellite communications, advanced secure digital datalinks, and allied/coalition data exchanges. Conduct laboratory and deployed tactical & operational assessments of CJADC2 programs to include cloud-based environment for distributed analysis. The CJADC2 Demonstration and Assessment Working Group (DAWG) Chair and Secretariat.
Mission — C5 Capability Development
Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber (C5) capability development functions as the DoD requirements lead for the joint command and control family of programs, Joint cyber, and requirements lead for mission partner environment (MPE). The program also develops joint context, containers, components, and code (C4) architectures, joint common systems functions, joint mission threads, leads analysis and reviews architectures and standards in joint capability development systems. C5 development enables warfighter access to authoritative data sources and improves data interoperability by establishing common command and control (C2) data and service standards.
Mission — Joint Fires C2 Interoperability
As the DoD lead for the integration of Combined Joint All-Domain Command & Control (CJADC2) capabilities and development efforts, lead interoperability efforts across DoD and partner nations at the operational and tactical level for mission partner operations, fire support, combat identification (CID), and friendly force tracking (FFT) capabilities. Conduct joint fire support, joint close air support and CID-FFT action plans to fulfill Chairman-directed, General Officer/Flag Officer (GOFO) level responsibilities. Conduct Joint Fire Support Executive Steering Committee (JFS ESC) standardization team accreditation visits to U.S. and partner nation schoolhouses to ensure memorandum of agreement signatories are accomplishing schoolhouse training in compliance with the memoranda.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)
C5 Assessments and Analyses
Support the Chairman’s statutory requirement to advise the Secretary of Defense on development of joint command, control, communications and cyber capability, including the design, integration and interoperability of such capabilities through requirements, integrated architectures, data standards and assessments. Also supports the Chairman's focus area of improving joint and Combined warfighting capability and the Secretary's line of effort to strengthen alliances and attract new partners. Interoperability is assessed and integrated solutions are developed to improve CJADC2 and C5 system performance by providing recommendations based on operational architectures and evolving standards and data products.
C5 Capability Development
Lead C2 capability development and integration to achieve an interdependent joint force. Supports Chairman's focus to improve joint warfighter capability and enhance global integration. This will be accomplished through five focus areas: capability development, C5 architectures, data and services, coalition interoperability, and joint experimentation.
Joint Fires C2 Interoperability
These efforts directly support Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) guidance to increase interoperability with allies and partners, to more effectively counter trans-regional threats. Supports Chairman's focus area of improving joint warfighting capability and the Secretary's line of effort to strengthen alliances and attract new partners. Execute Joint Staff-sponsored Bold Quest systems-of-systems interoperability assessment, including integration of cyber capabilities with command and control of conventional and Special Operations Force missions from a multinational perspective at the tactical level. Lead the Joint Fire Support Executive Steering Committee (JFS ESC), composed of Flag/General Officer representatives and supporting staffs from the U.S. Services, Special Operations Command, 30 joint fires international signatories, 22 Bold Quest partner nations, and 6 observer nations. Those observer nations now include Switzerland, Australia, Republic of Korea, Austria, and key Gulf State allies. Also lead the Combat Identification – Friendly Force Tracking Executive Steering Committee (CID-FFT ESC), focused on more effective and efficient combat operations and reduced potential for friendly fire incidents.
